Remove "Word Proser" Browser Adware

Word Proser is a type of adware/malware program that alters your computer’s browser settings so that you are redirected to Web sites that you had no intention of visiting. The Word Proser hijacker alters the default home pages and search engines to those of their customers who pay for that service because of the traffic it generates. Like adware and spyware, the Word Proser browser hijacker may be installed as part of a freeware installation. In this instance the browser hijacker is more than likely mentioned in the user agreement though obviously not identified as a browser hijacker but prob lay with the name "Word Proser" or similar. Word Proser may also be installed without your permission, as the result of an infected e-mail, a file share or a drive-by download.

Word Proser is commonly available as a Web browser add-on, that changes a Web user's browser settings in order to change the default home, error or search page. It may redirect the user to unwanted websites while capturing sensitive private data for personal or business gain. When Word Proser is not removed, the infected Web browser may default to the malware browser settings after every reboot, even if the settings are manually readjusted. Normally Word Proser is installed by bundled free applications, ad-supporting programs or shareware, which include a variety of browser plug-ins and toolbars. In many instances, removing the host application does not eliminate the bundled hijacker.

Another issue with this browser hijacker is that it can track your cookies and record your internet activities, which will make the ads appears to be related to the topics you are browsing. The never-ending redirecting and adverts can slow down the internet speed and the corrupted links can turn your computer infected by malware. This is a risk you want to avoid, so removing Word Proser from your computer system is a good idea.
